Hello I just bought playbeat 3 but haven’t been able to try it out yet but can I import my own midi sequence or do I have to draw it in first?

Hello JSmoove,

Thanks for reaching out. Playbeat features a real-time pitch shifting engine that currently does not support importing MIDI files due to its complex handling as each Sequencer has a C -2 to G8 range and not just a single note to receive as input.

However, it is possible that with our upcoming version update we will add the option to be able to import midi using a fixed note setup, probably the General MIDI key map.
